• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hospitals and shopping malls are encouraged to provide soap, water and hand sanitisers and ensure that all their premises are regularly cleaned and disinfected. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: There is an advisory from the Ministry of Health. Considering that the coronavirus has no cure and any management in hospitals focuses mainly on treating the symptoms, prevention thus remains the most effective way to containing the spread of the virus. Subsequently, advisories have been issued to members of the public to remain vigilant and have been advised to continue taking the following precautionary measures: Maintain basic hand and respiratory hygiene, and safe food practices; avoid close contact with people suffering from acute respiratory infections; anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as fever, coughing, difficulty in breathing and sneezing ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Some of the measures may cause inconvenience, but they are designed to ensure that we effectively contain the spread of the virus. The Government appeals to all of us to strictly observe these measures and also appeals for calm. Kenyans must avoid misinformation that causes panic and anxiety. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I read this Statement which has been signed by the Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Mutahi Kagwe. I also advise our MPs as we go on this recess let us be the agents to give the right information to the public. I again repeat the number 719 that any Member can call for immediate response by our health care. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: It is time to give the right information to our children and encourage parents now that the children are at home to be contained in the Houses. Also avoid congestion in the malls. This is because at this time if we leave our teenagers they will go and hang out in the malls or any other entertainment joints. We have 30 days and I hope as a nation we will reflect. Today this morning, I joined the Catholic MPs at the State House and His Excellency the President announced that Saturday is going to be our prayer day for the ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am going to be very brief. As much as I applaud the Senate on this Bill, you can judge a society by the way it takes care of its children and the elderly. We are a very unique community and society. If you look at our basic education, we say it is free. You will find that at the lower levels, the foundations, the most important aspect of our education, we do not provide it for free to our children, hence the spirit of the Bill to encourage county governments to take care ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I have been one of the champions of the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). I have seen the importance of going back to our culture, where we had a very well-structured way of taking care of each age group, from the young to the elderly. So, as we look at their safety, we should know that these people have taken care of us in the society and they are the ones who fought for Independence. If it were not for them, we might not be free even today to be in this House. Some of us have even gained from the ... view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: I urge, as we debate this Bill, that we be serious especially on the implementation. Let us be very clear on what we want to achieve because we can write laws on books, but implementation is not there. view
• 17 Mar 2020 in National Assembly: Finally, I want to speak about the homes of the elderly persons. As we have said, these people get old and they become very lonely. It is African culture that we feel that we still want to keep our elderly parents at home. We either hire a house-girl or a houseboy to take care of them and then we go back to the comfort of our homes in urban centres. However, I have witnessed instances in my county where the caretakers have become the killers. When you visit your parents back at home over the weekend and give them some ... view
